The protest entered at the treasu.
ry department against the admission
into an American port OF the cargo
of Australian rabbits would look, to
a person unaquainted with the hab.
its of these animals, like a case of ex-
aggerated fears. This is not true,
however. Statistics collected by nat
uralists show that single pair of
rabbits, at the age OF four and a half
years! may reasonably be expected
to have one million and quarter of
defendants. The RABBITS leave moth
ing else chance of living when nu-
merous enough. In new leland, where
they began infesting the great sheep
runs about ten years ago, q census
carefully taken showed a Ammunition in
the number of sheep within three years
OF two million out of n total thirteen
million head. One farmer was oblig-
ed to abandon two hundred and fifty
thousand acres entirely to the pest.
In one year he expended about fifteen
thousand dollars on war of exter-
mination, but succeeded in killing on
iy one hundred and eighty thousand
rabbits. There is no way OF keeping
the unwelcome visitors out of our
country except by a prohibitory stat
ute, which comes in the first instance
under the jurisdiction OF the ways and
means committee of the House. The
sole condition in which the Austria
han rabbit ought to be admitted to
our ports is in tin can, securely
sealed. Thus preserved, he is said to
make a very toothsome Wand; and
to augment the supply OF human food
is about the only worthy use anyone
has yet discovered OF putting him to.

The Only Farmer i'm the Senate.

Judge Reagan, of Texas, will be the
only. farmer in the United States SEN
ate. At the close of the war he went
back to his old home, on a small
sandy farm near Palestine, and began
the springs, work. He had hardly
dollar in the world, and could not
hire even q single negro to help him.
At that time he was exceedingly I'M
popular with his neighbors and with
the southern people generally. While
a prisoner in Fort Warren he had
written letter to his people at home
acknowledging that the south had
been defeated, and advising them to
accept the situation, go to their
homes and farms, and begin life
over again. Il took years for Reagan
to outgrow the effect of this let
ter. He is now nearly 20 years old,
but as he remarked a few days before
leaving Washington for Austin, 81
come OF a long-lived family on both
sides and / am good for quite p time
yet" He said he expected, If success
iui, to enjoy the Texas precedent OF
being reelected as reward for good
service. Three years ago Judge Rea-
gan thought his time had come to die.
He had a dangerous malady, and
there was no alternative but death,
or an operation that might itself be
death. He took the slender chances
and says he is now model of physi.
cal health. DIR. Lincoln, OF Washing
ton, performed the difficult surgical
feat, and for several days his greatest
fear was that the nervous shock to
Reagan's huge frame would kill
HIM. Judge Reagan and JEFF DAVIS
we're warm personal friends during
the war, and are yet. Mr.. Davis new
err fails to ask after the welfare of Rea-
gan when he meets a Texan, and Judge
Reagon's son JEFF was named after
the president OF the confederacy.
This son and Molly, pretty girl OF
II, and younger son are all the chill.
dren Judge Reagan has now in his
family. He has been married three
times, and the first two sets OF chill
dren are married off. In his domestic
lite the new senator is model of kind
ness. He never speaks cross word
and was never known to swear He
depends on his salary for living,
and Mrs. Reagan, who runs the farm,
says they lose money on it. 1t will
not raise cotton and the sand can't
be made into glass,

Cut the First Five Minutes.

A minister asks the advice OF the
Christian Register as to the length OF
sermons. He says that his last Sun
day sermon was five minutes too long
and as he came out of the pulpit he
could see "a sort OF IL o'clock express
sion. kind of cold-dinner look of re-
proach, in the eyes of some OF hiscon-
gregation." he thinks that the last
five minutes did it, and he wants to
know whether that part ofthesermon
ought to have been omitted. The edi-
tor, in reply, suggests that in generalit
Ia better to cut down your sermon
than to cut down your congregation.
He admonished his correspondent
that if he will look over the sermon,
now that it is cold, he will find that
he could have cut it down. The trou-
BILE was that he could not cut it down
while it was hot. As to where to
make the abridgment the editor says:
But if you feel when you have your
sermon ready at first hand that you
must cut off five minutes, don't take
off that five minutes at the end. Take
it off at the beginning. Reduce the
size of your frontstoop." Don'tspend
so much time engraving your door
plate. Shorten the corridor. Don't
use so many winding stairs. Be lit
tie more direct. Leave out some of
your parenthesis; nobody will miss
them. Make your sentences short
and terse, and don't use too many of
them. Cut it down in the beginning
or cut it down in the middle. Leave
out those polished literary conceits.

Latest Development of Spiritual
ism,

The latest development of spiritual
ism in New York promises to be both
popular and disastrous, according TO
a letter in the Baltimore American.
A pretty young medium. with blonde
complexion and a look not at all
Ghostly, gives seances in which she an
nounces that her own spirit leaves her
body, the latter being occupied for the
time by any disembodied spirit hap
pening to be in the locality. At re-
cent seance when the curtains OF the
cabinet parted, out stepped white.
robed form clad in white drapery, worn
so as to expose both arms. Long
golden hair fell over the shout.
ders aud breast and down the
back. A bare white foot peeped
out from under the garment as the
form slowly approached the specta-
tors. 1t was not a terrifying appari-
ton, for not a man in the room
shrank from it. The re-embodied
spirit purported to be the first wife of
a good.looking gentleman in one of
the front seats, whose second wife was
with him. He said that he recognized
the late lamented spouse distinctly.
Thereupon she put her arms about
his neck and gave him long, lingering
kiss that seemed to agitate him some.
1t also affected the lady by his side.
She shifted Indignantly and said she
didn't believe q word OF such nom
sense. Then the mediums body was
successfully taken possession ofby de-
parted female relatives of several gen.
tlemen present, all of whom will be
sure to attend the next seance, as
ghosts that kiss with warm lips are
not met every day.

Why is it so many suffer from rheuma-
